Carrick Leading Candidate for Manchester United Interim Manager

Michael Carrick appears to be the frontrunner to take over as interim manager of Manchester United until the end of the current football season. The club's management is considering various options following the departure of Ruben Amorim, with Carrick standing out due to his previous experience with the team and his knowledge of the environment. Carrick previously served as Manchester United's coach in 2021, after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure, before Ralf Rangnick took over. This experience, combined with his many years as a player for the team, are significant advantages. As a player, Carrick served Manchester United for 12 years (2006-2018), winning major titles such as five English Premier League titles and one Champions League. His knowledge of the club and the fans' appreciation for him strengthen the possibility of taking the position. Before his potential return to Manchester United, Carrick worked as a coach at Middlesbrough from 2022. His tenure there ended with his departure at the end of last season, having finished the season with the team in tenth place in the Championship. Manchester United's management is looking for a permanent solution for the technical leadership ahead of next season, with Carrick being a transitional choice.
